It was brought to my attention, that recipes were rarely posted on this forum because it's not organized for quick reference. I have added a "Recipe Box" subforum where you can post your favorite recipes to share I am also defining recommended keywords such as LowCarb or KidFriendly that people are encouraged to add to the bottom of each recipe. This will help people use the existing forum search tool along with keywords and favorite ingredients to quickly find what they need. If you have special dietary needs you would like to see added to the keyword list feel free to contact me. Posting recipes in the forum will also allow people to post photos and reply with recommended alterations or complimentary dishes. It will become a live cookbook that evolves as the tastes of the stlwed community evolve.

Recommended Keywords to add as appropriate to the bottom of each recipe.

The case used for keywords isn't important, but the missing spaces to combine multiple words into one keyword is required for fast/easy search abillity. (three letter words like "low" aren't valid for the search tool, so these keywords should help)

We could add one if we end up with enough down the road... but by using the recommended "SlowCooker" keyword at the bottom of any such recipe, we already have the ability to quickly list the crockpot recipes. A quick search using the keyword "SlowCooker" will find and display just the crock pot recipes in whichever category you specify (entire recipe box and subforums, dinner only forum etc).

Thanks everyone - I'm glad to hear you like the new format! The What's Cooking board was always supposed to be a recipe blog type place, but I just didn't realize the lack of organization was holding it back. There are so many good recipes already in the What's Cooking board and on other boards across the entire forum, and I'm trying to copy or move them where they belong. It may take me a while to find and reorganize them, but hopefully people find the organization useful

To speed the organization and make sure your recipe doesn't get missed, if you know that you've posted any recipes on the forum please PM me to let me know. Simply use the search tool to find them (as you probably can remember an ingredient or title to enter into the search) and then send me a PM with a link to the original post containing the recipe. Also if you've posted a recipe on a private board (such as Growing Families), you'll need to PM me anyway to give me permission to display the once private content here on the public recipe box board.

Thanks for all of your help and a BIG THANK YOU to those who've been posting new recipes in the recipe boxSome of these look amazing and I can't wait to start trying them out
